Leigh Gammon, serving as Brand Quality Manager for Nissan at Wessex Garages Nissan Newport, has secured a place among the finalists for a distinguished automotive industry award.

Gammon is vying for the Customer Service Champion title at the AM Awards, a ceremony organised by Automotive Management magazine that celebrates excellence across Britain’s car retail sector.

In discussing the acknowledgement, Gammon highlighted that a strong team is essential in this industry, and he feels fortunate to work for an organization that provides solid guidance and genuine dedication to client care.

Across his 30-year involvement with automobiles, Gammon has spent the last 20 years affiliated with Nissan, occupying various posts across South Wales and Herefordshire.

His professional journey has encompassed positions including service advisor, senior service advisor, service manager, and aftersales manager.

Gammon reflected that he has truly enjoyed his professional life so far, noting that the automotive industry is experiencing an exciting period and he looks forward to what comes next.

Throughout his working life, Gammon has accumulated several Nissan Dealer Ambassador accolades. Most recently, the Wessex Garages Nissan Newport squad earned the distinction of being named Nissan’s Aftersales Dealership of the Year for 2025.

The establishment prioritises customer satisfaction as a fundamental principle, with over 1,300 patrons polled throughout the previous year granting the business an average score of 4.85 out of five.

Gammon, who describes himself as a workaholic, devotes his leisure hours to his offspring and their pursuits. He also plays video games and follows Liverpool FC.

When asked about his favourite Nissan model, Gammon expressed that the Nissan Pulsar ranks among his top choices—a vehicle he always felt did not receive sufficient recognition.

The recipients will be announced at an event set for Thursday, May 14 in the capital.
